Rio Ave’s positive run to continue against Maritimo
Rio Ave vs Marítimo - 23/12/2022
3107
On Friday night, Rio Ave hosts Maritimo in the Portuguese Primeira Liga as the home team looks to continue a decent recent run of form.
The home side heads into this clash on the back of a good run of form. Luís Freire’s team has won four of their last five games in all competitions, including winning 2-1 against Farense last time out in the Taca de Portugal.
Their recent matches have certainly not been goal fests, as there have been under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven games in all competitions.
When it comes to the Primeira Liga, Rio Ave has won three of their last four matches while keeping clean sheets in all three of the wins.
Like their recent games in general, their league matches have been low-scoring of late, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last four games.
Rio Ave has also been strong on home soil of late, winning four of their previous five matches on home soil, and have kept three straight clean sheets.
The visitors head into this game on the back of an awful recent run of form.
A 5-0 defeat at Sporting Lisbon last time out means that Maritimo has failed to win in five games in all competitions, having suffered four straight defeats.
Finding the back of the net has been a big problem of late for Maritimo, as they have failed to score four of their last five matches.
That lack of goals has hindered Maritimo’s attempts at escaping the Primeira Liga relegation zone, as they currently sit in 17th place in the table, three points off the relegation play-off spot, but five adrift of the safety of 15th place.
What am I backing?
Forebet predicts that Rio Ave will continue their recent good form by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
